This winter 100,000 sun-seeking North American tourists are discovering Jamaica and echoing Columbus. The lush British colony, only three hours by air from Miami, is the Temperate Zone dweller's vision of Eden: white sand beaches and an emerald surf, blue mountains and waterfalls in the distance, a green landscape of palms, banana and sugar cane, splashed with gaudy contrasts of scarlet poinciana blooms, yellow and coral bougainvillaea vines and fragrant orchards of mangoes, limes and tangerines...

Some blamed atomic explosions for disrupting the weather. Others felt that either Senator Bridges or the lack of a decent winter holiday had something to do with the general discomfort. Many, however, seemed to think that Mayor Sullivan might have provided snowplows. At any rate, pussy willows are being sold along Mass. Ave., and the trial by wet ankles is obviously over.
